Probably a good thing from a security perspective

I don’t believe doom should be playable in any document, being able to, in my opinion, is a sign of software vulnerability.

Oh yes. Adobe Reader has a reputatation for ongoing vulnerabilities. (Count: 1901 at time of comment)

Part of it was Adobe’s shitty security culture for many years. They’ve done a good job search-washing this away, but many of us remember their previous CEO lashing out at security researchers - as if Adobe being a Cybersecurity laughing stock was some kind of conspiracy.

Part of it is simply that becoming the final word in portable documents required a lot of shenanigans.

For some context, and contrast:

Edit: In fairness, Adobe Reader is (whether it should be or not) also closer to Firefox in functionality, as well.
